Wow what a relaxing and beautiful video . . . One of your best to date. A great combo of all the elements that make your channel so unique. Loved the relaxing footage of the canal and the accompanying music was spot on. The birdsong was amazing too. Have a great weekend !!.
Thanks so much Mark for your fabulous comment. We try and embrace the nature around us and show as much as we can on our vlogs, after all, this is what attracted us to the boating lifestyle. The canal was beautiful, particularly loved the sandstone cut through. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
That was a fabulous relaxing vlog. So peaceful just to hear the birds no engine noise and just love the beauty of this canal. So relaxing almost fell asleep lol. Thanks.
You two are so funny together, you remind me of ''over the backyard wall sketches from Les Dawson and his comedy partner''
Sissy and Aida 🤣🤣 used to love those sketches. Thanks for watching 😃
Stunning and moving music in a section of this one, very Hans Zimmer!
Thanks Nigel. Glad you enjoyed it. I do love Hans Zimmer. Have a good week ❤️
Paul and Anthony, you provide such serenity in my life. I just can't thank you enough for sharing your journey. Leigh
Thanks Leigh, that means a lot. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
What stunning scenery! It's all so peaceful. I am watching it in bed to see if it gives me a good night's sleep. Take care you three. Xx 🐾
It really was beautiful scenery. Hope you enjoyed the video xx
The beautiful Shroppie! Thanks for taking us with you. I do admire how to try to answer all subscriber’s comments - quite a feat! 👏👏 Beautiful art work, Paul. 💜
Thanks Kath. We loved the Shroppie. We would definitely love to do this section again in the future. I am off the opinion that if someone takes the effort to reply to us, we should reply back. Love Paul’s work too. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
The pictures are wonderful I love animals
Thank you. Glad you like his stuff. I love Paul’s work too. Have a lovely week ❤️
that bit from 15:45 to 16:15... beautiful. the music, the birds, the drift through the scenery. Stunning.
Thank you George. Absolutely loved hearing the birds. It is like they know spring is on its way. Have a great week ❤️
The music, beautiful scenery and birdsong made for an utterly relaxing video. That would be a wonder segment to use for meditation. Thank you, Paul and Anthony.
Thank you Ruth. Glad you enjoyed. It was a beautiful stretch and the bird song was fabulous. Hope you have a a lovely weekend ❤️
This particular vlog has certainly brought the serenity and peacefulness of electric boating for me, especially the bit with the music accompaniment, just sheer bliss. When we were boating, it was all diesel/petrol, so couldn't appreciate the stillness until we were moored up. Now too ancient to do anything about it, but can do it vicariously. Thanks for your sharing.🕊
Thanks Steve. I don’t think we fully appreciated how much of the surrounding nature and water we could hear with the silent propulsion. We love it. Still miss the diesel engine sound occasionally. Thanks for travelling along with us. Have a lovely week ❤️
Wonderful video, a perfect mix of chat, cruising, scenery, and a musical interlude. There were times I wondered if there were no sound but then I’d hear Dexter and know it was truly silent cruising. Have a good weekend.
What a beutiful sound the birds are makeing.hi to the dog.dexter.
Thanks Becky. Loved the bird songs. Have a good week ❤️
Thanks Paul. We loved this stretch. The silent cruising took some getting used to but we love you can hear the birds more clearly. Have a fab week ❤️
Thanks guys for taking us along on this beautiful cruise onboard your lovely and silent boat, it was great to go along whilst listening to the birds and even the Heron getting angry with something, lol. Paul's artwork is marvellous. I hope that you three are having a great weekend and are safe during this storm that's blowing everything around my back garden. Have a great week to come. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Cheers Stevie. We loved the Shroppie. The bird song was amazing. Not sure why the Heron was so angry. 😂. Love Paul’s work. We are all safe this weekend as we are away in Lincoln with friends. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
Hi paul just wanted to say ive never seen drawings like yours , they are soooo fantastic you are so talented and the detail is so real, ive seen a lot of peoples drawing like you do but never have seen anything as good as yours. Keep up the good work, we watch all your blogs boys its great.
I know I am biased Sandra but he definitely has a gift. Love Paul’s work and feel privileged to see these taking shape. Glad you are enjoy our vlogs. Have a lovely week ❤️
Oh wow - the music by Ben Winwood matched brilliantly with the scenery ! That could have been from a movie it was so good!!! Excellent job!
Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing guys.
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
What a beautiful vlogthe scenery is amazing so gorgeous it must be beautiful having this as your garden
Thanks Maureen. We do feel very lucky when we wake up to views like this. Loved the Shroppie. Have a lovely week ❤️
I love your videos...please keep them coming. They are so relaxing and the positive vibe you guys have is so refreshing. ❤.
Thank you so much ☺️. Glad you enjoy them. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
I watch you two all the time, this I must say is one of my favorite. The views are spectacular. Love the reflection on the sky lites.
Thanks you so much. We loved this stretch of canal. The reflections are something we didn’t think about when we got skylights but we love them. Have a great week ❤️
This video reminds me of why I am a supporter of your channel. The beauty of the canal with the music you picked, and then just the quiet afterword with the sounds of the birds and just the little burbling sound your boat makes in the water--it was so restful. And then the occasional quick focus on a detail, like the shot of the leaf, or the ring chain in the hands as you went to moor up. And a bit of chatting as well! I definitely see the artist's eye in how it is all edited. Thanks for sharing this. I hope you three have a lovely week.
Hey James, sorry for the late reply. We have been in Lincoln this weekend with a bunch of other vloggers. It was fabulous. Off to pick Dexter up now, who we missed loads. Paul always has a different outlook on the canals and what we see. The sound of the birds is just beautiful. We so appreciate comments like this and I know Paul loves when people notice the little details. Thanks as always for your support and your lovely comments. Have a wonderful week. ❤️
Putting the laundromat in the pub is brilliant ! I can imagine sitting at those picnic tables with a beer doing laundry !
It really was genius. Great business model. She is super friendly towards boaters too.
X
Thank you for that wonderful video. I loved all of it , and the quieter second half was absolutely beautiful. The canal, the gorgeous sky and your choice of music was something else! 💗🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed Rhonda. Absolutely love when we cruise silently and the birds are in full song. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Well done, Anthony, on your weight loss and on your ongoing health regimen. The video was lovely. Oh and the art is fantastic.
Aww thank you. I am really pleased with the progress. Love Paul’s artwork. I know I am biased but I think he is brilliant. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Definitely a wonderful vlog, the serenity of the canal and the music was spot on.
Glad you enjoyed it Wendy. That stretch was beautiful. Loved the bird songs too. Have a fab weekend ❤️
What a relaxing vlog between the music and the scenery. I just love hearing all the sounds of nature without the sound of the engine. The sunshine was wonderful as we are now in full blown winter with snow. Anthony, congrats on the weight loss and Paul your drawings are amazing. Safe travels till the next time. 🥰
Hey Ali. My absolute favourite bit of the new boat is being able to hear the birds. Just stunning. Wish it was as nice weather now. It has gone really cold. We have had a couple of snowy days. Thank you re the weight loss. I feel better already. Love Paul’s artwork. He definitely has a gift. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
A beautiful stretch of canal indeed! It was like being guided through an enchanted forest. Such a great idea to have a pub with a laundry service so Paul can wash the smalls while Dexter grabs a beer. 😜 Sending lots of love. 🙌😘🐶
Thanks Michael. We loved this section and the pub and laundrette idea is genius. Paul did a great job with the laundry. Dexter chilled as always 😂. Have a lovely weekend. ❤️
oh such a wonderful vlog, thank you both for bringing this relaxing landscape to us, bless Dexter ❤️🐾
Thanks Claudia. We loved our time on the Shroppie. Have a lovely weekend ❤️ .
Have to agree with MarkRutter,was a wonderful vlog,so relaxing,and the music being accompanied by the Robin made it so magical,Thanks for sharing
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. We loved this canal and definitely would love to do it again at some point. I love listening to the Robin song. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
What a beautiful cruise and excellent vlog. Thank you both. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm, safe, and well 😊
Thanks Catherine. Glad you enjoyed. We had a fab weekend in Lincoln with some fellow vloggers as a catch up. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️ .
Moored next to a pub again!😂😂😂
Another fantastic vlog, what a beautiful canal, and the birdsong was amazing
Take care the both of you
Jane & Martin.
Thanks guys. I think the boat just finds these pub moorings on its own. 😂.
Love hearing the birds with the quiet cruising. The canal was beautiful.
Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
Lovely vlog, you two always make me giggle 😂 I love to be able to listen to the birds as your boat silently cruises along. Take care and have a great week xxx
Thanks Angela. Glad you enjoy them. Definitely love the birds too. It is so relaxing not to hear the engine noise. Have a fab weekend ❤️
Paul, Anthony and Dexter. Hello, your vlogs are so well done and it's nice to hear the wild life. Paul, your art is so beautiful, the animals are so life like. Thank you for all your work on the vlogs. Happy Christmas. Janet
Hey. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Love to hear all the wildlife too and the sound of the water behind the prop. I love Paul’s work too. He really is talented. Thanks for following us. Happy Christmas to you too. ❤️
awesome guys keep on boating and extra hugs for dexter! xxxx
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Hugs given to Dexter. Have a grata weekend ❤️
I so look forward to your relaxing videos. After a difficult few weeks they really help. Thank you.
Thanks Sue. Sorry to hear you have had a troubled few weeks. Hope things improve for you. Take care ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked that's so kind. Yes things are getting better and looking forward to being with whole family for Christmas 🤞❤
❤️
Hiya, how beautiful a lifestyle you both have. Absolutely love the scenery and the silent cruizing part.
Thank you for sharing a slice of your life.❤❤
Thanks Liz. We love it and often have to pinch ourselves. The silent cursing is fabulous to be able to hear the natural sounds around us. Thanks for coming along with us. Have a wonderful week ❤️
I find canal life does make you smiley and chatty, maybe its the slow nice pace. Loved the real time cruising with bird song and some music plus reflections in both the canal water and on the sky light. Think it gives people who havent cruised a good idea of the peace and quiet and pace. Even two 90 minute journeys added to work hours makes for a long day, hope you get a bit closer. Lovely vlog thank you three xxx
Hey Susan. The slow pace definitely makes for a more peaceful life. I loved the shots Paul did this week and especially loved the bird songs. We did have a spell of being closer to work and now we are getting further away again 😔. Back to sleeping in the van. Hope you have had a lovely weekend and a fab week ❤️
Beautiful canal boys. So peaceful. I love seeing the villages when you stop and the Inns! 🙂
Thank you. We loved the Shroppie. It is weird how the boat just seems to take us to these pubs 😂. Hope you have a good weekend ❤️ .
You could do a full length video, just cruising, with relaxing music👍
Cheers Jason. Glad you enjoyed. Have a lovely week ❤️
I always enjoy your videos but that one was so restful and brought back memories of late summer. Hope you are doing well and keeping warm. Lots of love to the three of you ❤Stephen.
Thanks Stephen. We loved the Shroppie and miss the lovely summer weather. We are all good thank you. Hope you have a lovely week. Take care ❤️
Loved watching this video this morning whilst looking out of the window at the POURING DOWN Rain. Can’t wait to Take my Wife up the Shroppie next year when we do the Four Counties Ring. Great Vlog guys ❤️
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. You guys will love the Shroppie. So beautiful. Have a lovely week both of you ❤️
Nice to have a glimpse of Brewood. I’ve been doing some family history and discovered one of my great grandmothers , who married a man from Lichfield, was baptised in Brewood. Her parents were married in Kinver and the next generation back was from just outside Worcester. I have a theory that the gradual family migration from Worcester to Staffordshire was along the rivers and canals.
Such beautiful areas Helen. Especially loved Kinver. How fab getting all that info on your family. I bet you aren’t far off the mark too with the migration of your family members. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
Hey guys and Dexter, Sorry for the late comment! We so enjoyed the video as we both had a long week last week and was such peaceful and relaxing way to end our week with a nice cocktail in hand while watching. Can't believe how beautiful the birds sounded along the way! Sending hugs and warm thoughts to you all! John, Dean Johann and Greta
Oh nice. Love a cocktail. An espresso martini or a passion fruit martini 😋
Love espresso martinis!!! We actually were having a sour apple martini.
Never had one. Will have to take a look x
Such a beautiful stretch of nature! So relaxing to follow suit and enjoy this so thanxxx❤
Thanks Eric. We had the best time on the Shroppie. The cut sandstone was stunning. Glad you enjoyed this as much as us. Have a great week ❤️
Peace and sunshine along a beautiful stretch of canal. I think I would find it hard not to nod off.
You could easily drift off Julia. We loved it so much. Hope you have a wonderful week ❤️
Love the sound of the birds. 😊
That is my favourite bit about the silent motor Christopher. Glad you enjoyed too. Have a good week ❤️
Such a beautiful video. Loved all the natural sounds you hear going through the canal!
Thanks Sheryl. That is the one thing we love about the electric propulsion, the clearer sounds of nature. Hope you have a good week ❤️
Brilliant art work ,you have a great talent .
I love watching it progress Malcom. Very proud of him. Have a great week ❤️
Gorgeous, almost primeval, forestry scenery! Keep well ❤❤
That is a great description Arleen. It was certainly primeval looking. We loved this canal. Have a great week ❤️
I could feel my stress level drop the longer I watched this one. Ahhhh....
Thanks lads!
Thanks Mike. Definitely what boating is about and great for the soul. Thanks for watching as always. Have a lovely week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Absolutely!
Just curious, your vlogs go back to September and it's almost Christmas now. Are you guys planning on "catching up"? I say that tongue in cheek of course 😁
😂. Paul was only talking about this the other day to be honest. We don’t want to be to up to date though 😉
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked 😆When I was a young boy my parents went to Hawaii. One of the things they brought back was a bumper sticker that said, "Please excuse if we kinda slow, we run on Hawaiian time." Just replace that with "Paul and Anthony time." 😆
Cracking idea 😊
Excellent episode guys, it was beautifully photographed and artfully edited.
Thanks Jay. Paul will be chuffed with this comment as it is him that does all of this. Hope you have a great week ❤️
Such a lovely stretch of canal, one of our favourites! Lovely vlog xx
Thanks guys. Definitely love to do that canal again. It is stunning. That pub with the laundrette is every boaters dream. Hope you are all set for Christmas ❤️
Love the frontage on the building next to the Swan it's amazing x
It was definitely art nouveaux. Some stunning buildings along the canal. Have a great week ❤️
You must have REALLY startled that fisherman going by how brown the water was. 😮
Another great vlog guys!
I think we did Henry 😂. Thanks for watching and have a lovely week ❤️
Thank you for sharing.. this stretch of canal seems truly glorious 😊
Thanks Maggie. It was beautiful along here. We loved how peaceful it was. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
What a lovely cruise. Beautiful.
Thank you Mishka. We absolutely loved our time on here. Have a good week ❤️
Thank you for the beautiful serene cruise ❤
Thank you for coming along with us. Have a lovely week ❤️
Loved the video boys such lovely scenery, loved the music too, have great week xx
Thanks Sandy. Have a fabulous week too ❤️ xx
Very beautiful and peaceful journey guys. The birdsong was awesome too. Paul I’d say Brewoods like you if I heard it but looking at the spelling actually written we’d say Bre woods funny how different we can make a word. Great idea having washing machines/dryers in canal pubs, more pubs should do it. There’d be lots more trade I reckon. Hope you had a great time with the crew. Have a good week. ❤❤🙏🙏🙋♀️
The Shroppie was beautiful Katelyn. Love we can hear the birds more clearly. Brewood was a weird pronunciation. Brilliant though with the Laundrette attached to the pub. What a great idea: we had a lovely time thank you. Hope you have had a lovely weekend. Have a fab week too ❤️
Serene. I patiently await your next film.
Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed. Have a lovely week ❤️
Ah! The music....the birdsong!
Glad you enjoyed Hannah. Have a good week ❤️
Love your pictures! On another note, I want to thank you for CC (closed captioning) I don’t know if TH-cam automatically does it or if you have to do something, but it’s very much appreciated ❤
I was surprised to “hear” what I think was a Eurasian Collared Dove 🕊️ at one point. I can’t trust my ears so I’m curious if anyone else heard it a couple of times.
Great cruise...Hope you have a lovely weekend in Lincoln.
Thank you Sue. We had a fabulous weekend. Have a great week ❤️
You probably did you know. Sure we have picked that up on the app. Have a lovely week ❤️
Thank you. Paul does a fabulous job. You tube auto does the closed captioning. Glad you find it useful. Have a lovely week ❤️
Such a lovely video. Thank you and cheers.
Thanks you so much. Have a fab week ❤️
Beautiful vlog as usual ,so look forward to seeing you all.take care until next week xxx
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoy our vlogs. Have a fab weekend ❤️
I used to love Hartley Hare - goodness knows how I’m not traumatised! It’s the scariest hare in the world. Not a lot of choice on the telly when we were little though 😂😂 Keep up the good work with the healthy eating Anthony, you can definitely see the progress ☺️ I found only having a drink for a special occasion helped me - working in social care there was a time when I’d happily have a drink every evening 😮 Got in to some terrible habits during the pandemic and then carried on! Anyway, you all have a lovely weekend 🥰
Totally agree Lesley, I loved pipkins but Hartley was very scary. Thank you for noticing the weight loss. After doing sober October I haven’t drank anywhere near what I did prior to this. I totally get the bad habits during the pandemic. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Surprise! There’s a pub nearby! Love your videos.😂
I am sure the boat hones in on the pubs 😂. Glad you enjoy the vlogs. Have a great weekend ❤️
It is obvious that Anthony has side work as a hair and sunglasses model . . . both on point.
😂. Thanks for noticing. Have a good week ❤️
What a beautiful relaxing vlog. I don’t know when you filmed this one but there you both are in t-shirts! It can’t have been the last couple of weeks for sure and hope you were both inside next to that cosy fire. The bridges are just so beautiful along there, each one different that before and I often wonder how long it took to build them during construction. They are pretty substantial through those amazing cuttings. Thank you again. 🌻
Thank you Marilyn. I think this must have been the end of September. The weather was really kind. The fire had been lit for ages now. Nice and cosy. Agree re the bridges. All done by hand as well and just beautiful architecture. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Hi, gentlemen! Paul, your prints are fantastic. And, Paul, I wish there was a launderette behind a pub in my neighborhood! 😅 Anthony, you're looking great. Your scales may not be correct but your persistence is obvious. 🏋♂️🚴🤺
I've been decorating for Christmas. Need the holiday spirit around here.🎄 So nice to see England in sunny September. Safe cruising! 💚💚💚
Thanks Julia. Definitely love Paul’s work. He has a gift for sure.
The laundrette was a brilliant idea. The landlady was really friendly too. I am determined to slim down. I feel like I have lost my belly, which I am pleased about. We haven’t started the boat yet. Been mad busy. I wish it was sunny now. Hope you have a fab week ❤️
Hi,how beautiful, just like heaven to me.
Thanks Leah. The Shroppie was one of our favourite canals to date. Definitely on our future plans to do again. Have a great week ❤️
Greetings from Chehalis, WA USA. Your vlogs are wonderful.
Greetings Jeanne. I just had to google Chehalis. Looks beautiful and the name “shifting and shining Sands” is fabulous. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Lovely vlog s .So funny I used to love Hartley hare my daughter w as scared of it so I used to watch on my own 😂😂. Just bee n watching Lisa and Glenn so seen you in there vlog having to much fun 😊😊 xx
Thanks Pamela. He was quite creepy. Looked like road kill 😂. Aww we had an amazing time in Lincoln. Great company and lots of laughter. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Great stuff, thanks. I used to live in Gnosall.
Cheers Will. We loved it around there. Have a good week ❤️
Another glorious vlog guys, just so relaxing. I have to admit to watching it in two parts though as I ended up spiraling into an orgy of Hartley Hare/Pipkin"s watching! I love that someone else remembers Hartley Hare, though I may have nightmares tonight! 😲😁❤️
Thanks Colin. Hartley was very sinister looking, no wonder us 80’s kids have issues 😂. Hope you are keeping well. Have a lovely week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked he was sinister and so camp too! I can't stop watching him!! 😂😂😂😂
😂. Google glove puppet and Hartley Hare. I don’t know how they got away with it 😂
Thank you 😊
Hope you have had a good week Jules ❤️
Another beautiful trip down the canal with you guys thanks! I used my Merlin bird app and was able to ID all the lovely birdsong along the way haha. Take care….see you next week 😊
It’s a fab app isn’t it Julia. We loved this stretch. Have a fab weekend ❤️
💜💙💚
Happy New Year ❤️
Now that was a handy pub having a laundry right there 🤣. Nice cruise with the birds singing so relaxing. It was so pretty along that stretch of canal. Have a good weekend unfortunately my hubby is in chemotherapy now so we are taking it easy at the moment. ❤
It was a fab business model Judith. Loved listening to the birds too. We adored the Shroppie. I would go as far as to say it was one of my favourite canals. Hope you have a good week. So sorry to hear about your husband. I hope it doesn’t take it out of him too much as it can be a gruelling experience. Sending hugs to you both ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Thanks Anthony 🥰
Gorgeous canal 😊
Thanks Anna. We loved it. So peaceful. Have a fab week ❤️
A lovely serene vlog, watching the reflections in your skylights is absolutely mesmerising, we hadn’t realised how they totally change the forward view. One thing I was curious about was, when you filled up with diesel there was a sign that said , surcharge for diesel used for propulsion. If you only use your generator to charge the batteries, do you use any diesel for propulsion? It’s such a stupid tax law
Hey Crichie. We were the same re the skylights. Never realise the other perspective of cruising. Theoretically, we don’t use diesel for propulsion (not directly anyway) so we can declare 0%. It is a stupid taxation and difficult to police I suspect. Have a fab week ❤️
For "non drinkers" youre certainty finding all the moorings by a pub strangely enough 😉😂 Gnosall is gorgeous. Had two days there on the way home from Birmingham
It’s the boat David. It just seems to find its way 😂. Loved Gnosall too. Hope you are keeping well. ❤️
Hello Paul, Anthony and Dexter. Just caught up with your videos and started at the beginning. My wife, Melody, and I have watched them all. Really appreciate these. We are planning our first NB experience for late 2024 and are doing all the research we can. For now thinking of doing the 4 counties ring over 3 weeks to allow plenty of time to explore.
Any good luck with the new Mourning Star, I'm very interested to see how the all electric boat works out.
Hey James. Aww thank you. Glad you are enjoying our travels. Oh, the four counties ring should be fab.
We are slowly getting sorted with the boat. We have some major work to be done in January when we go away for January.
Hope you both have a lovely weekend ❤️ j
Nice one lads remember Topov monkey in the pipkin That program was a proper mind bender I bet it easy getting to work now Ant that stag looks brilliant hope the main mans ok Dexter give him a hug from me av a top week lads 🙂🎥🐶✌️
Cheers Lee. I do remember Topov. It was a strange programme. 😂. We did have a few weeks where getting to work was easier and that was fantastic, but back to sleeping in the van again now. I loved the stag pic too. Dexter is doing ok. He had had the week at my Mums. Have a great week. ❤️
The quietness of your cruise enhances the vlog, the noise of the old style engines mask the sounds of wildlife in and arround the canal. I propose the quiet engines should become standard on all Narrowboats, the noise pollution would decrease greatly.
This is exactly what we love about our boat. Whilst we miss the engine noise a little, the sounds of the birds definitely makes up for it. Have fabulous week ❤️
good vid thanks lee
Cheers Lee. Have a fabulous week ❤️
Always love your vlogs. The part from 14:23, with the natural sounds, and then the perfect choice of music fading in, was absolutely beautiful. The birds over the music with that steady shot of the canal with those reflections...like a high end documentary. Stunning editing and so artistic. Gave me chills that did, really beautiful and so tranquil to watch.
Thanks Greg. Paul will be made up with to your lovely comments. This canal just kept giving with the views and the nature. The bird song was incredible to listen too. Hope you are having a good weekend am have a fab week ❤️
What a beautiful stretch of canal, it looked so pretty and the bird songs were delightful. Are you going into a marina for the harshest parts of the winter, so that you don’t get frozen in somewhere? I love spending a relaxing time watching you glide along, it is so peaceful and a great way for me to start the day, many thanks and bless you both and sweet Dexter.❤ x x x
It really was Janice. We loved the Shroppie. The bird song is so much clearer with the electric propulsion. We aren’t going into a marina. We only usually do that if we are leaving the boat for a long period. Thanks for coming along with us. Glad you find it relaxing. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Many years ago, I looked at buying one of those houses opposite your mooring - seeing the scaffold I’m feeling pleased I didn’t (though it may just be for painting)!! I love that stretch of canal and it’s even more beautiful from your boat as it slides noiselessly through the water. I keep wondering how things are for you, this December has been so bitterly cold.
Hey Joy. It really was beautiful along this Stretch. I am not sure if the scaffolding was for cosmetic or structural reasons but they are pretty. We are doing fine thank you. The diesel heater gives us controllable heat so we are never cold. Hope you have a good week ❤️
A pint while waiting for the washing, can't be bad eh ! Lovely video as always.. Both looking good
What a fab business model Jan. She was really welcoming to boaters too. Thank you, I have definitely been making an effort to loose weight. Have a good week ❤️
@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked well what ever you're doing, keep doing it slim Jim 😉
Thank you ❤️
This was one of the most beautiful cruises I've seen. I'm curious if you only show the lovely places, or if you haven't cruised in big city canals. I watched another boat's cruise and there was so much graffiti and a lot of trash. It made me sad to see that. So happy to get back to the beautiful people on Morning Star! Thanks for sharing Paul's work, too -- he is quite talented, isn't he!
Hey Diana. We have been through Manchester and this wasn’t too pretty. We have shows a few vlogs where it is a little dodgy and graffiti on the bridges. Thankfully, most canals are beautiful. Love to see Paul doing his art. He definitely has a talent. Hope you have a lovely week. ❤️
I thought that bloody Hartley Hare was terrifying when I was a wee boy 😂creepy looking bugger of a thing 😮
It looked like road kill Stuart 😂. The things we watched in the 80’s 😂. Have a great week ❤️
Happy Friday evening! 🥰 Hope it's lovely. Not too much going on around here. The weather is still nice somehow. 57 right now and 62 tomorrow but I keep seeing stuff about a big snowstorm coming. Hope that is wrong! 😊 Funny how exciting doing laundry can be when you can wash and dry somewhere else. 🙂 Lovely cruise as always and the canal is really nice. It's nice to look back at September and in such a quiet boat. No, snow or frost or ice. ☺ BTW, love the badger pic. I hadn't seen that one before. Have a great weekend and take care! ❤
Hey Dorothy. Happy Sunday. Sorry for the late reply but we have been in Lincoln with some other vloggers. Been fabulous. Glad you have had good weather. We had the storm last night but we weren’t on the boat. It is funny how the small stuff gets us excited, especially the laundrette. We loved the Shroppie. It was beautiful. I love the badger print. Hope you have a fabulous week ❤️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Thanks for taking the time to catch up. A vlogger meetup sounds fun. I hope there will be photos and film. It's chilly today because it's very windy but supposed to get warmer again. Still no sign of the snow. Take care and have a great week! ❤
It was a blast Dorothy. Hoping to do it again next year, different location ❤️
What an especially lovely vlog! I particularly enjoyed the segment with the beautiful music, the birdsong & the peaceful, green countryside. Wishing you both a Joyful Christmas Season 🎄 full of good times with family & friends! Big cuddle for our sweet Dexter! ❤ 🐕 ❤
Glad you enjoyed Kathy. We had the best time on this canal. Just beautiful. Especially loved how vocal the birds were. Have a lovely Christmas too. Hugs from us all. ❤️
Love your boat and the tranquility you both bring to the on board life. Sure it’s not always that way. Hopefully we may meet up one day when we are out on our boat and have a few scoops. Keep well and safe.
Hey Nigel. Thank you. No, it isn’t always roses and castles but the vast majority of the time we absolutely love it. Definitely up for a few scoops if we see you. Have a good week ❤️
As always,,,,,thank you so much for an entertaining and relaxing video......Paul,,,great art work by way,,,,,and Anthony...my better half agrees with me when she said you have lost weight! What she actually said, bless her,,,,,was that Anthony-san has down sized!!!
Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed. The Shroppie was definitely relaxing. Love Paul’s work too. Tell your wife thank you very much. I have really been trying to down size and it is lovely when people notice. Have a fab week ❤️

Have a fab week. ❤️
Great vlog as usual. You were both really nice to my Husband and his friend when you gave them a lift back to our boats after you came down the Bosley Locks in the pouring rain. Your skylights are amazing but does it feel weird when the rain comes lagging down on them?
Thanks Wendy. We remember that well. We had such a laugh with them on the way back. We were really saddened when you told us about your loss. We love watching the rain bounce off the skylights and they are amazing when the sky is clear and all you can see are the stars. Sending hugs to you from us all. ❤️
Gorgeous stretch of canal! Love the badger drawing; will there be prints of it?
It was beautiful on the Shroppie. There are definitely prints available for Paul’s badger drawing. 😊. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Really enjoy watching you from New Zealand. You make such great videos, but its a pity you are so far behind. Most of the other vloggers are in Winter now.
Hey Lindsay. Glad you enjoy. Most vloggers are at least 4 weeks behind. It gives time to edit. We are considering how to get more up to date but it would mean cutting some lovely footage, which would also be a shame. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
Oh Anthony - if my scale was telling me I was down 14 pounds, I would lose another 14 just doing the happy dance😄 when I was in university I bought some jeans that were size 0 which I definitely wasn’t, I suspect they were seconds because the wrong tag was sewn in, and I spent far (far!) too long trying to figure out if I could display the tag on the outside! 😆
😂. I am thrilled I have lost so much weight Katherine I had so let myself go. I don’t blame you for wanting to have displayed your label on the outside 😂 Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
😅you buy more diesel now than when you had a diesel engine! Lovely peaceful vlog..enjoyed it guys….
Don’t Morten. We are as shocked as you are. Glad you enjoyed. This is a lovely stretch of canal. Hope you are keeping well. Have a lovely week ❤️
